On Friday, Aug. 15, students, faculty, staff and community members gathered in a classroom in Peck Hall for a town hall meeting scheduled by Chancellor Julie FurstBowe. Vice Chancellor of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion Venessa Brown started the meeting by addressing its purpose. “This town hall meeting is being held in an effort to respond to the active discussion on the campus Listserv,” Brown said. “The Chancellor requested this meeting to be convened to allow discussion of the recent events in Ferguson, Mo., and to provide an opportunity for faculty and staff to share concerns related to our students, our community and how we might be a part of rebuilding Ferguson. More importantly, how we might be a model of change for the region, the nation and the world.” With the floor open for conversation, issues of racism, societal pressures and stigmas for persons of color and educational and local efforts became major topics for discussion. However, it was graduate sociology student Josh Rice, of Rock Island, who addressed the issue of segregation at SIUE. “SIUE is still a segregated college community and we need to address that because that’s going to help [students] go into the world and work with people who are different than them in a more effective capacity,” Rice said. Rice said he wanted to take a realistic approach to the issues on campus. “It’s important to remember that we talk a lot on this campus about how great SIUE is and we talk a lot about the wonderful things it does for the students, but what we don’t talk about often is that this college campus, as well as many others across the United States,” Rice said. “Our students are a part of that [segregation] — they play a big part in that. Me, an individual who works for [University] Housing, also plays a big role in that.” Rice said he expected the meeting would

be a discussion between everyone about the events occurring in Ferguson rather than how it has affected the SIUE community. Rice said his biggest concern is whether SIUE will be proactive with the ideas brought about at the meeting. “I feel like the problem with a lot of intellectual communities is just that it’s a lot of thought, which is a good thing, but that thought doesn’t always get translated to action,” Rice said. Students, faculty and staff discussed adding more interdisciplinary courses to the core curriculum that would engage students to talk more about race, ethnicity and diversity. Faculty members discussed various classroom lessons they could use to include the Michael Brown’s case in discussion. English professor Daniel Ising said writing can help students express their personal experiences to the localized events in Ferguson. “Writing is one way in which people can exercise their power and spread the word and enlighten. … We’re talking about a very isolated and local instance that has all of these connections to global events. We’ve seen unrest in the Middle East, in Europe and it’s spreading over here in various ways,” Ising said. “Hearing some of the young men here talk about the way they have to behave and concern themselves in interactions with the police and in their everyday lives reminds me so much of the way that I hear women talk about and be concerned with the potential for rape and sexual harassment. “There’s all of these overlaps, and even if students don’t think that this is something that maybe affects them, if we can help to draw the connections for them and see how this particular incarnation of injustice or prejudice is identical or at least very similar to so many others that it does affect them in some way.” Sociology professor Connie Spurlock said her ideas to implement discussions of diversity and the Ferguson events into her classroom can also be used by other departments. “One of the solutions that I have been

playing around with would be a series of classroom lectures or classroom space devoted to discussions of race, policing, power and stratification. As a sustainability advocate, I know that I don’t have all the answers and the best way to figure out what’s going on and to approach the issue is by having an interdisciplinary, or even a trans-disciplinary approach,” Spurlock said. “We could possibly coordinate this throughout the semester so that there is an event built into the classroom space so students are there whether the incentive is the grade or attendance, but maybe that could be an option to keep this conversation circulating around campus.” Spurlock said she already has plans to include Michael Brown’s case into her courses. “I will continue to talk about inequality in all its forms. I plan to incorporate a good bit of Michael Brown’s story into my Victims and Society course,” Spurlock said in an email interview. “I think students will want to, and perhaps need to, talk about what’s going on around them. I know it will be difficult but I also know sociology can provide some of the necessary tools to understand and explain what they’re seeing.” Sociology and criminal justice professor Kiana Cox said she wants students, faculty and staff to understand the different forms of racism. “When we talk about race in our diversity training and anything we do when going forward, we have to acknowledge that it’s possible to have racist practices in institutions who are populated with people who do not think they are racist. But because of implicit bias and the different types of images that populate and entice the narratives about who people are and what they do, those are the types of things that help to create the situation that we have seen in Ferguson,” Cox said. “Any type of intervention that we have, whether it be a community talking like this, that we get beyond racism being the problem of a few bad people in the midst of a lot of good people. There are lots of good people who have been trained to think a certain way. So [asking] what is structural racism and what is colorblind racism,

and how is it that racism can persist with people saying they aren’t racist — we need to get to that question.” Cox said race is not the only problem that needs more attention — gender can also strike a similar note. “What I want to bring awareness to is that the militarization of police and these issues [that have been discussed] are not just a black male problem. We know more black male stories because we don’t take the time analyze the ways that black women are also profiled by police and by people in general,” Cox said. “As we go forward, I want us to be sure that we talk about black men but that we don’t default this as a problem of black and brown or men of color. People of color have these issues — differences create these types of things, so we have to be sure that we get away from individual analysis and away from analysis that only focuses on men.” Students, faculty and staff shared personal stories about run-ins with law enforcement, racial profiling and discrimination. Rice said hearing stories from the others in the meeting forced him to think about his future. “I’m getting to a point where I think a lot about what I would teach the children I’ll have. The reality of the situation, in reference specifically to the police, is that I don’t know how to go to my police or would tell my children the police would protect them,” Rice said. “It’s not to say that there aren’t great police officers because there truly are, but it’s sad you actually have to have those conversations of don’t do something because you don’t want to give anybody any reason to think that you’re up to something.” Furst-Bowe sent an email soon after the meeting to inform students, faculty and staff that Brown “will be coordinating SIUE efforts to assist the Ferguson community.” For those interested in these efforts, contact Venessa Brown at 650-5867.

The Alestle // 3

Student Government starts amendment process in response to smoking ban Starting July 1, 2015, all public universities in the state of Illinois will be smoke-free. As of now, this ban prevents anyone from smoking anywhere on campus, unless they are in their cars. Student Body President Nasir Almasri said Student Government is working to create an amendment to the law which, due to the schools geographical layout, would allow for designated smoking areas on campus. This will provide a place for smokers to go that will not only make the law more convenient for them, but for non-smokers as well. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Narbeth Emmanuel said Student Government is approaching the ban from a slightly different perspective than usual. “They are looking at how to provide opportunities for smokers to smoke on campus,” Emmanuel said. “I think they are just trying to be sensitive to the needs of smokers. The question is how to best do that.” Almasri said if they are given the amendment, designated areas could work if the school properly advertises them. “If we present it properly, students can see this is what happened, this is why we’re going with this kind of setup,” Almasri said. “The way it is is [that it will] be banned or we’re going to get an amendment to continue smoking. It’ll be good for students to realize the amendment is good for them—they are still allowed to smoke but at the same time no one has to breathe in your secondhand [smoke].”

Almasri said if no amendment goes through, he is not sure how effective the full ban will be initially. “I think it is infringing on a lot of people’s rights,” Almasri said. “I think the hardest thing is if we wanted to change it, it’d have to go through the state; it’d have to go to Springfield, through the house [House of Representatives] and the Senate.” Emmanuel said in order for this ban to work, there will need to be sensitivity toward both smokers and non-smokers. “What we need to do is to figure out how we’ll prepare for the new expectations, how to transition from a semismoke-free campus to now being a totally smoke-free campus,” Emmanuel said. “I think there will be a transition period and we will have to work through that. We’ll have to put in place the appropriate support systems and programs to help those who need help.” Almasri said what needs to be done is continued education; regardless of what happens with the bill. “I dream of a world where we ban smoking and it bothers nobody, but being realistic I think that’s not likely, so we need to start at the root of the problem,” Almasri said. “I think it’s important to educate youth on these types of things. If we continue to educate and get them involved in programs where they can quit smoking, I think that would be really useful.” Almasri said once the school year begins, SG will be resurveying students in regard to the ban. “We want to see how students feel about it now that they know it’s going to be banned,” Almasri said. “If we re-

looked at it, we thought we might get a really good grasp of what students are feeling.” Emmanuel said for the most part, people are going to have an ‘It doesn’t affect me’ approach to the ban. “I think it’s going to be difficult for that small population who have a high need to be able to smoke—they will be the ones who struggle the most. Whatever we can do to help that group, we need to try to do as best as we can,” Emmanuel said. “But the rest of the campus is going to go on with business as usual.” Chancellor Julie Furst-Bowe said since this ban is statewide, it should not affect SIUE’s student enrollment. “I think we’ll have to do a good job

of educating students and employees because it will be a change,” Furst-Bowe said. “This is really something the government is imposing on us, it wasn’t our idea to ban smoking. But I think students will still come here to go to school because all of the public universities will be smoke-free.” Emmanuel said the university will handle the ban to the best of their abilities. “I would hope that folks would understand that this is a state legislation that as an institution, we have a responsibility to create procedures and processes consistent with that,” Emmanuel said.

New provost reveals plans, objectives for SIUE The summer semester was filled with major changes in departments as old staff left and new staff arrived, and one of SIUE’s newest additions is Provost for Academic Affairs Parviz Ansari. Ansari said he has been wellrounded as a leader in an academic position. “It is a privilege for me to be in this position, it is an honor,” Ansari said. “I have a great degree of background from so many years in higher education that allowed me to take upon a position of this kind. To me it’s very special to be here, working with a strong team of leaders and faculty members.” Ansari said through the years, his performance has shown he is a dedicated faculty member who has learned much about the university system and how it works. “I focus on not only my development, but of course what is best for the students,” Ansari said. “I try to be very comprehensive in my understanding about what goes on in the university environment.” Ansari said a lot has been going on successfully at SIUE prior to his arrival. “I am not coming here to build from scratch, I’ll build on the past successes and achievements,” Ansari said. “I want to make sure we are having a comprehensive vision for academic affairs. Following the leadership of our chancellor, the question would be how would academic affairs be able to move on in a meaningful way so we are caring about the future and at the same time we are putting our heads together in terms of what is best for our programs.”

Ansari said the role of provost is centered on the students. “We want to make sure that we are creating an environment that is best for them as we take care of their needs,” Ansari said. “I’m also very much in tuned with working with faculty, making sure we’re collectively one team when it comes to the future of SIUE as an institution.” Ansari said he operates on a system that follows what he calls the

“

and focusing on undergraduate research,” Ansari said. “But at the same time, making sure we find ways to identify areas of growth when it comes to research and scholarship and this has to be innovative.” Ansari said to focus on becoming an economic engine means making sure SIUE has a comprehensive way of looking at what the role of SIUE is within the community in southern Illinois.

I am here to make a difference in the lives of those who believe in SIUE and its future, and I need to do it as a team.

“three e-ways” for successful academic education – excellence, entrepreneurship and economic engine. “For excellence in education, we have to find a way to make sure our programs and courses are all related to what is best for this region, for the students and for our economy,” Ansari said. “So in that regard we need to focus on having direct programs and if we don’t, can we perhaps improve upon what we have at this point?” Ansari said he believes in entrepreneurship innovation in research and scholarly activities. “This way we are engaging our faculty in a very comprehensive way and making sure those who are research-based are going to be playing a larger role in terms of bringing scholarly activities to the classroom

“How do we make partnership with the local industries, local businesses and making sure that we are coordinating with people so that they are finding SIUE as a magnet for excellence and progress?” Ansari said. Ansari said he would like to focus on online education as well. “While we don’t say online education needs to replace our traditional education, it’s something to be used at SIUE in a meaningful way,” Ansari said. “To those who are not able to come to SIUE to take advantage of our good education system, we need to have a very comprehensive plan in terms of online education for these students.” Ansari said another area he would like to focus on is the internationalization of the university.

“We need to have a significant role in the way we are embracing the whole concept of being part of the global village,” Ansari said. “It’s not just focusing on study abroad but focusing on bringing students from abroad to our university.” Student Body President Nasir Almasri said one area he would like to see Ansari improve upon is the humanities. “I think the humanities gets pushed to the side,” Almasri said. “What I think we need to focus on is more permanent retention of students in the humanities. This is something that’s important as a school to be focusing on. Dr. Ansari is really great, very friendly, very outgoing, very interested and very invested.” Ansari said he finds SIUE an exciting opportunistic university to be a part of. “I certainly want to be here to work with everybody, to focus on what is best for the students and how we can create an environment of success for them,” Ansari said. “I’m very happy to have a strong team here. I am very happy to work with so many good people that have the same set of mentality in terms of the future.” Vice Chancellor for Information Technology Services Jennifer Vandever said Ansari seems to have many great ideas in terms of moving things forward. “He seems to be really focused on a lot of student-centered initiatives, so I think that’ll be fun building on those and introducing them to the campus,” Vandever said. “He’s the academic leader for the campus so I think setting the vision and direction for the academic mission of the university is important and I think he is prepared to do

that.” Ansari said he looks forward to working with all entities within the university. “I do not believe in working in silos. Part of my mission is to really be part of a larger team that involves units that go beyond academic affairs,” Ansari said. “So we’re all working together as one team for the sake of students and for the sake of the growth and prosperity of our institution.” Ansari said he wants people to recognize that while it is important to be visionary, it is also important to be collaborative, dynamic, goaloriented and a team builder. “I am here to make a difference in the lives of those who believe in SIUE and its future and I need to do it as a team,” Ansari said. “No single individual can do miracles. We need teams coming together and recognizing, despite all of the challenges put in front of us, there is a common core and a common set of goals that will bring us together. With that, we need to work for what is best for this institution and I would put the students at the very center of this institution.” Ansari wants to make sure everyone knows this is a studentcentered university. “We all work together to make sure students are taken care of to the best of our abilities,” Ansari said. “I would love to work with everybody who would love to see SIUE advancing itself for the greater excellence and I would love to talk with anybody who has ideas about the future and can make a difference in the future of this university as we go forward.”

8-13-14 Officers contacted Demond F. Jennings near Lot 4A regarding an incident. It was determined that he had an active warrant through South Effingham County for driving on a suspended license. Jennings was arrested and transported to the SIUE Police Department where he was fingerprinted, photographed and processed. He was unable to post bond and because South Effingham County would not be able to pick him up until the morning, Jennings was transported to Madison County Jail. 8-14-14 An officer responded to Prairie Hall parking lot for a report of subjects smoking cannabis. The officer advised that there was no one in the area upon arrival. 8-15-14 Two females reported a black male, between the ages of 18 and 19, wearing a black shirt and jeans, sitting on the picnic bench beside the volleyball court at Prairie Hall holding a black handgun.

People in power should be responsible for their actions Corruption in higher levels of government or corporations is barely news anymore; we see it nearly everyday. It is so commonplace that no one bats an eye when hearing of money laundering or government contracts being handed out mysteriously from friend to friend.

Nathan Sierra Alestle Copy Editor

Corruption in this country is so pervasive that it has invaded all levels of government, but none of the corruption is felt as much as it is on the police force. The horrible scene that went down in Ferguson, Mo. is not an epidemic localized to Missouri. The problems with our police force that have been festering are endemic to our entire system. It is a product of our society’s inability to hold those in power accountable. Due to that inability, we are seeing horrible crimes committed against humanity. I am not saying all police officers are

corrupt. In fact, I have run into agreeable police officers more often than not. However, working on the police force means one must consistently deal with the underbelly of society, which eventually leads to a perfect storm of taking one’s aggression and pent up frustration out on those who do not deserve it, leading to awful situations like those in Ferguson. It does not help that holding the position of a police officer is a sign of power for those who desire status and power over others for all the wrong reasons. This only increases the likelihood of something awful occurring. I say the way our system is currently structured does not work. In order for police officers and civilians to feel less antagonistic toward each other we need to have accountability. The system of checks and balances that is supposed to work clearly is not doing its job, and too many incidents have occurred between police officers and civilians to let this go on any further. Police officers should be required to have a camera attached to their badge. The cameras would monitor and record their actions when they are in their uniforms and

representing the law. This will, of course, initially inhibit the actions of police officers, but that is for the best. The system has previously allowed for too much power to go unchecked, so a slight switch to necessitating prudence and wisdom in all police officer decisions is what the law needs to regain society’s trust. It may also be abused a bit by civilians who truly do want to take advantage of the law, but eventually the accountability would weed out officers who break the system and help police do their job — to capture criminals who break the law. I am not saying this is a perfect idea — and it has its potential flaws — but I maintain this is the best solution to a horrible situation. Without more accountability, our police are going to become more lax with upholding every law and more comfortable with enforcing laws that suit themselves the best. We need to be the watchdogs of our society before we get to the point where civilians lose all political power.

Address gender discrimination on campus without hesitation Sexism remains a prevalent issue even in the year 2014, and part of this reason is that when someone experiences or witnesses an act of sexism, the instance is not usually addressed. As students on a college campus with many diverse persons present, the existence of blatant gender discrimination is

Hailey Huffines Alestle Editor in Chief

something I continuously witness on a daily basis. There have been times where I am fearful to approach a person who made the sexist remark because I am afraid he or she will become verbally or physically aggressive. It was the first day of class, and someone had already told me he was surprised I hold the position I do at the Alestle. When I asked the person why he was so shocked I was editor-in-chief, he

continued to say I was a woman, and women cannot hold positions of power like men can. I continued to share with the young man that there have been many successful female editors-in-chief at the Alestle, and many women in power all over the world. I tried to communicate with him, having the intent to educate; yet he continued to insist women were lesser than men. Whether you think the person is ignorant or downright ridiculous, approaching the person with the mindset that you want to educate them is the best way to do it. The person may leave the conversation feeling as if they learned something or could leave still believing they were right. Whatever the case may be, using your intellect, critical thinking and communication skills will ultimately lead to better success. SIUE provides many courses that discuss the continuous existence of sexism in media, news, advertisements and other subjects. These courses show us that the presence of these problems in our society

have not and will not go away unless they are discussed and addressed. You do not have to be a whiz on the topic of feminism or even a woman to approach someone who knocks on women. People make sexist remarks against men, too. If someone ever makes a comment that you disagree with, you have every right to speak to that person about it. It is not only your right as an American citizen, but as a human being. Communication is something we as a society lack and using this tool would really help solve, or accelerate progress, if used correctly. As grown adults and students of higher education, we need to stand up for our beliefs and defend others when they are being wrongly interpreted. The more people openly discuss topics of this nature, the more amicable people may possibly be with one another.

Uncle Munkey’s invites

patrons to celebrate classic arcade games Pinball machines, comic book characters and nostalgic decor greet customers as they walk through the doors of Unkle Munkey’s Coin Club in Edwardsville. Unkle Munkey’s is an arcade that doubles as a bar and eatery. The “barcade” serves up nachos, pizzas, salads, hot dogs and a variety of sandwiches. Cocktails with names like “Scooby Snack,” “Superman” and “Pin Ball” are less than $8, and beer is available on tap or in a bottle or can. Unkle Munkey’s owner Ryan O’Day, who owns Wang Gang Asian Eats next door, said the barcade seemed like a place that could draw from the community and people of all ages. “Current business at Wang Gang is pretty successful and the area brings in a wide range of people, so we thought to bring in something [for ages] 18 and up for a variety of people in the community,” O’Day said. O’Day expects a large crowd of SIUE students to visit because the barcade is an eccentric addition to the area. “I anticipate a lot of college students coming through because we have a bar and food, take-out and we will offer delivery in the fall,” O’Day said.

The moment you enter Unkle Munkey’s you will be hit with the flood of lights and sounds coming from the variety of classic arcade games. O’Day said the barcade has 50 games total, including 16 pinball machines. “All games are 25 cents and 50 cents. Every once in a while I’ll go in and exchange the games to keep choices rotating,” O’Day said. Classic pinball machines like “Tommy,” “Jurassic Park” and “Space Invaders” are in mint condition and ready to be played. Other arcade games include “Tetris”, “Mortal Kombat 3” and “Terminator 2.” There are also two Skee-Ball lanes patrons can play to win tickets that can be redeemed for a free drink – 75 tickets for a beer and 100 tickets for a cocktail. Unkle Munkey’s houses a modernized jukebox with music for everyone’s tastes. Waitress Breanna Rogy, of Peoria, said coming to work at a place like Unkle Munkey’s is hardly work. “I love it. I’ve been working here since we opened and I haven’t dreaded coming to work at all,” Rogy said. Unkle Munkey’s offers karaoke starting at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays. Takeout can be ordered at Unkle Munkey’s by calling 650-9107. Unkle Munkey’s is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m Sunday through Wednesday; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday; and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. The barcade is 18-and-up-only after 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. However, Sunday is “Sunday Funday” and is open to all ages, all day. Unkle Munkey’s also updates its Facebook page with new events and game additions. For more information, including menus, lists of games and other services, visit unklemunkeys.com. !

‘If I Stay’ haunts audiences with tale

of life, death and what lies in between In Theaters CAITLIN GROVE

Alestle Lifestyles Reporter

When people endure neardeath experiences, they tend to say their lives flash before their eyes, and they see the good, the bad and the ugly in the process. This is exactly what happens in the film “If I Stay.” “If I Stay” is a film about love, heartbreak and everything in between. Mia Hall (Chloe Grace Moretz) is a quiet high school student who has everything going for her — a potential acceptance to Juilliard, a fun, lively family and a loyal best friend. Until one day, while driving down an icy road, an oncoming truck strikes her family’s car, and Mia’s world is changed forever. The remainder of the film is spent with Mia having an out-of-body experience, watching herself in the hospital, and flashing back to memories from her past. She looks back at the good and the bad in an effort to decide whether to keep fighting and wake up from her coma or to let go. This film did a wonderful job of making the movement between the flashbacks and the hospital scenes easy to follow. At first, it is a little difficult to catch on to the fact that they are flashing back and forth, but once that is established it becomes easy to understand. Mia reminisces about many things during her looks back in time, but the most prevalent memories are concerning a boy named Adam (Jamie Blackley). Adam is a local rock musician who fell in love with Mia the moment he saw her playing her cello. He is the type of boy every high school girl dreams of; he waltzes into your life, unannounced, and changes everything. He adores her love of classical music, takes her to the symphony and even dresses up as Beethoven for Halloween in an effort to express his feelings. I do not normally like loveat-first-sight stories because I feel they are unrealistic and predictable, but the story of Mia and Adam’s love is one I enjoyed very much. It seemed so real; they had real struggles in their relationship. For example, they had completely opposite music choices, and they got into fights about stupid things just like every other couple. It is the classic story of falling too hard, too fast and I appreciate that they did not try to sugarcoat it like many Hollywood movies do.

Apart from the love aspect, the film did a fabulous job of incorporating the world of classical music through Mia’s love for it. I have personally never been exposed to music of the sort, but hearing how beautifully the cello sounded changed my views on this particular music style. Mia is passionate about her music and unapologetic about how much it means to her. The way they show her following her dreams and embracing her talents is inspiring. The casting in this film was brilliant. Moretz was phenomenal; she was able to portray the many different emotions that went along with this role and did it in a way that illustrated all the trials and tribulations that go along with teenage life, and a traumatic event such as this, in a way that is relatable and realistic. Blackley did a wonderful job as well, embodying exactly what it means to be a lovestruck musician. Stacy Keach played the role of Mia’s grandfather and had a few heartbreakingly wonderful scenes. I will admit, I cried more than I wanted to at this film; there are so many scenes that, if you put yourself in Mia’s shoes, will cause you to tear up. There was a point during the film where the actors were silent, and all you could hear was the sniffles and crying of everyone in the theater. I was prepared for it to be an emotional film; I just was not sure if it would be overly emotional to the point where it is depressing, but it was not. It was the perfect amount of happy and sad that will make you walk away thinking how beautiful of a film it was. “If I Stay” is based on the best-selling novel by Gayle Forman. I have not read the book myself, but from the chatter I heard from moviegoers after the screening, the film matched the book nicely. Fans of the novel will not be disappointed either. This is a film that will make you laugh, cry and appreciate every person you have in your life. It makes you realize everything you have done and everyone you have met up until today has made you exactly who you are, and if you choose, can give you reason enough to stay.

On Sunday, Aug. 18, former SIUE men’s soccer Head Coach Scott Donnelly stepped down from his position at the university to take a job as Technical Advisor for the Northeast region of the United States Soccer Federation. Donnelly, who was promoted to head coach in January, left the team a week before its first game of the fall season, but Athletic Director Brad Hewitt said he understood Donnelly’s decision to pursue this soccer promotion. “Where he is going is the epitome of professional life for a soccer coach,” Hewitt said. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. He didn’t pursue it; they pursued him. As a mentor, as I consider myself of all my employees, I would’ve advised him to take the job if he asked me what I thought. It’s just too good of an opportunity.” With Donnelly working for U.S. Soccer, SIUE is now represented at the national level of soccer competition. Hewitt said the move would help expand the university’s brand. “If you have someone who has a voice at the premier level that knows you, cares about you, as I shared with the studentathletes, he’s one of our family,” Hewitt said. “Now, he is in the role of the top-20 or 25 decision makers in United States soccer. That’s a significant opportunity for our future athletes. It’s also a great thing for us in the recruiting opportunities because we’re going to have someone out there who is going to be evaluating talent on a national level. He’ll be able to share with us his insight.” With Donnelly gone, cohead coaches are expected to lead the team, which is a unique situation in the sporting world. Co-head coaches David Korn and Brian Jones will be leading | pg.12

Hewitt said the team’s hopes for the season did not change, and that the administration and team should expect to do big things in this season. “Our mission is to win the Missouri Valley Conference and qualify for the [National Collegiate Athletic Association] Tournament,” Hewitt said. “The talent level is there. The studentathletes are still there. There’s just going to be a different person leading them throughout the week of practice.”

No matter what happens during the season, Hewitt said no definite decision would be made until after the fall season. The men’s soccer team won its first exhibition game of the fall 3-1 against Oakland University. The team plays its first official game of the 2014 campaign at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 29, at Korte Stadium against Virginia Tech.

the Cougars in the 2014 fall season. Korn said the two head coaches, along with the rest of the staff, will work together to put together the best program they can. “I think with anything there’s synergy when you’re part of a staff or team,” Korn said. “Each member of the team assumes responsibility relative to their strength. For us, it’s not a big difference.” The two have different backgrounds at SIUE, with Jones entering his 7th season at SIUE and Korn entering his first. Hewitt said he sees no problems arising from the two head coaches, one reason he decided to give them the position. “The fact that they get along so well, that we don’t have two individuals with huge egos that believe they have to be the top person, is great,” Hewitt said. “They each look at this as an opportunity for each of them. They have different motivations in their professional careers that are part of their own personal lives. Right now, it’s a great marriage for us.” Despite having worked together for six months, Korn said he and Jones have already built a professional relationship with each other. “We’ve known each other for a while,” Korn said. “It’s something we both feel very comfortable with each other. For us, the biggest thing is moving forward with our mission for the season.” With little time between the start of the 2014 season and the promotions, it is imperative the coaches get their players on board. Korn said the change should not have a huge impact on the players or the goals for the season. “The only thing for us that’s changed for us is the leadership,” Korn said. “Our mission, as far as what we want to accomplish as a team, stays the same.” In agreement with Korn,

Women’s soccer goes 2-0 during the weekend BEN LEVIN

Alestle Sports Editor

Junior goalkeeper Jennifer Pelley allowed one goal throughout the two games the women’s soccer team played during the weekend. On Thursday, Aug. 13, the Cougars were held to a scoreless draw at Loyola University. On Sunday, Aug. 16, the team defeated Western Illinois University 2-1. | Alestle file photo

The SIUE women’s soccer team began preseason play Thursday, Aug. 14, tying with he Loyola Ramblers 0-0. On Saturday, the Cougars defeated Western Illinois University 2-1. Thursday the team outshot the Ramblers 11-5, and 3-1 with shots on goal. Head Coach Derek Burton said even though Thursday’s game resulted in a tie, the effort the team put forth was good. “We only played one sub, so it wasn’t ideal for us, but the girls definitely pushed forward, worked hard and stuck with it,� Burton said. “Getting a 0-0 result wasn’t bad at all — we definitely created some chances to score. This was our first live game situation for 11 of our players, so the main thing was getting some game time under their belts and shaking off the nerves.� Junior goalkeeper Jennifer Pelley, who had five saves on the night, said she was pleased with the result of Thursday’s game. “For an exhibition game, it wasn’t a bad start considering the amount of injuries we had,� Pelley said. “We had seven or eight freshmen start and play the majority of the game, so we handled it well for the amount of inexperience we had.� On Saturday, freshman forward Caroline Hoefert scored in the first minute after taking her player on in the box. Western Illinois swiftly answered back

with a goal of its own in the 16th minute. Tied 1-1 at the end of the first half, freshman midfielder Mariah Vollmer scored the eventual game-winning goal on a through ball from junior forward Katye Skirvan. Burton said it is encouraging seeing the freshmen, like Vollmer and Hoefert perform well. “For those two players it maybe gives them a little bit of confidence,� Burton said. “They were both successful high school players, so it’s not like they’ve never done it before. But when you’re coming up to a new level you’re left asking, ‘Can I do it,’ and we think they can.� Burton said the lack of roster depth was due not only to injuries, but also due to a lack of preparation. However, in Saturday’s game the team had a few more available players as opposed to Thursday night. “In a preseason game we aren’t going to risk players furthering an injury that they have, because the games don’t mean anything in terms of our record,� Burton said. “It’s about keeping the long-term picture in focus.� Pelley said the team’s game Saturday was a little chaotic. “The lack of depth on the bench caused problems,� Pelley said. “People were tired from Thursday’s game and there weren’t a lot of subs, which put pressure on the upperclassmen and people who had to step up and lead.�

Burton said overall, the preseason play met his expectations. “The main thing with our preseason was getting our players, especially our new players, used to the rhythm of playing on Friday, having an off day and playing on Sunday,� Burton said. “It was getting used to that and getting out on the road. We scheduled away on purpose so we could get those road trips under our belt for our new players so they could get used to how we travel.� Burton said he is encouraged by the new players performances going into regular season play. “They’ve, in general, come in really fit and ready to play,� Burton said. “You’ll see a different element they bring to our team with a lot of quickness and speed. Now it’s just about getting them used to playing at a college level, adjusted to the speed of the game and getting them experienced as we move along.� Burton said the returning players are showing promise as well and many of the upperclassmen are proving to be early standouts. “Part of being a returning player is you have a season under your belt, you have that experience, so there’s less newness to things,� Burton said. “But also one of the things as a returner that you have is the wear and tear of a season, which is why we have three or four players who aren’t COUGARS | pg.10

really ready yet. Cassidy Sherman [junior, midfielder], Jen Pelley, Sam Jones [senior, defender] have all been really good for our group in different ways and not necessarily just on the field.” Pelley said in her opinion, the preseason went decently well and feels confident going into Friday’s game. . “If we put the right work in, work out some kinks and get players who haven’t passed their fitness test, we’ll have a lot of potential,” Pelley said. “There’s no reason we shouldn’t have a great season and host the conference tournament.” Burton said having two preseason games has helped point out areas that need improvement. “After seeing two game situations, we know what we need to work on as we move forward into Friday’s game,” Burton said. “Our individual

www.alestlelive.com defending needs to continue to get better and the recognition of our players when we have the ball is definitely a work in progress.” Burton said going into regular season play, it’s important to not get too overconfident when it comes to preseason success. “You never want to put too much stock into it because there’s a lot of games to be played and a lot of soccer to be played,” Burton said. “But we look forward to getting the season started and getting real games going.” The Cougars’ next game is at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, at Korte Stadium against University of Illinois at Chicago.

Offense shines in Cougars’ first exhibition game MEREDITH MCKENNA Alestle Reporter

The SIUE men’s soccer team defeated Oakland University 3-1 in the seasonopening exhibition match on Friday, Aug. 15. Despite a downpour throughout the game, Korte Stadium was packed with more than 2,300 fans. David Korn, in his first game as co-head coach, said the weather was not a factor, but the Cougars’ fans certainly were. “I do not think the rain affected our players in a negative way,” Korn said. “There was a good crowd that came out. Probably about 2,500 people were in attendance Friday night. It definitely helped us keep our motivation.” The game started off shaky for the Cougars. Within the first five minutes of the game, the team found itself down 1-0 after Oakland’s junior forward Gerald Ben slotted a penalty kick past senior goalkeeper Kent Kobernus. Taking over for John Berner, who was drafted in the second round of the Major League Soccer SuperDraft in the fall, Kobernus did not see much action in the game, playing 59 minutes and having one save. The Cougars were quick to

counter, and in the 24th minute senior midfielder Matt Polster put away a penalty kick of his own, tying the game at 1-1. The first-half scoring for SIUE did not stop there. In the 34th minute, senior forward Christian Volesky, the leading scorer in the last two seasons, scored his first goal of the season, getting his foot on a pass from redshirt junior defender Brett Lane. The first half ended with the score 2-1. Volesky scored his second goal of the game off a through ball by redshirt junior forward Garet Christianson. Freshman goalkeeper Kyle Dal Santo played the final 30 minutes of the exhibition having two saves. Dal Santo denied Oakland’s Austin Ricci twice in the second half of the game. Korn said he was pleased to see his team fight back after giving up an early lead. “I am very happy with the outcome of the first exhibition. We responded well after [Oakland] scored,” Korn said. “We will continue to sharpen some technical and tactical things as the season progresses, but for our first game, we had a lot of positive takeaway.” Read more about women’s soccer at alestlelive.com
